Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce portions Halibut filets
- 12 ounces Green beans
- 1 pound Red potatoes
- 4 cups Fish or vegetable stock
- 1 cup White wine
- 1 Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Wash and scrub the red potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Trim the ends of the green beans and set aside.
In a large pot, add the red potatoes, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook for 12-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the fish or vegetable stock and white wine. Add the bay leaves, thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
Lower the halibut filets gently into the simmering liquid. Ensure they are fully submerged. Poach the fish for 8-10 minutes or until opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the halibut with a slotted spatula and set aside, keeping them warm.
Add the green beans to the poaching liquid and simmer for 3-5 minutes until crisp-tender. Remove and set aside.
Melt the butter in a clean skillet and sauté the drained red potatoes until slightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the dish by arranging the halibut filets alongside the green beans and sautéed red potatoes. Drizzle with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and finish with a small dash of olive oil for added brightness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your poached halibut with green beans and red potatoes!
